What do the toggle switches do on the bass? There are two and I'm thinking it's a parallel/series and coil thing but I'm not sure which is which.
thanks pete

In the first position (down) the pickups are Humbucking in Series, the second (middle) position is a coil tap (for either pickup, only the Neck side coil) and the third (up) position is Humbucking in Parallel. Great bass. A friend of mine used to have one in Shoreline Gold, but stupidly sold it. Never even gave me a chance to buy it off him. Wish I could get that one back, instead I picked up an American Deluxe PBass V, which they also discontinued. I don't know what it is with Fender and five string basses. They only seem to keep the Jazz in production consistently.

I finally got my hands on another one of these bad boys. Another Craigslist find for well under a grand. It has been played, but I'm planning on doing that anyway so...
